From a business which was pu Iy local we have extended our field far as New York and Boston. So much for the history of The Nor- wich Paper Box Co., Inc. Now as to the box and its uses. In manufacturing a box it first hag to be cut out or scored, next it goes to the corner cutter ma- chine and the corners are Temoved, then it goes to the corner stay machine and set up with four paper corners, next it goes to the covering machine and the side walls of the box are covered with paper, this paper has to be cut on a paper slitter and wound in Tolls to fit every different size ofi hox before it can be used on the covering machine, the covering machine glues thejpaper and it is put on the box with the help of an tor, then th have to be turned in the inside the box and turned down on the bottom, then the box goes to the topping machine and a paper top is stuck on the box. If this box is over three inches in depth there is a narrow flange cut on the box and two end pleces are stuck on, inst cutting our four corners which would mean a waste of material. If this is a telescope hox it has to have two thumb holes punched in the edge. Now all of these operations that have taken place on the hox with the excteptfons of the thumb hole have to be gone over again on the cover. Then the nicer grade of boxes have lace or paper fly leaves, the box has to be covered up or closed, up, i a freight shipment it to be wrapped and crated, if loca ply tled in bundles, and then de; and much reach the customer in fect, clean unbroken condition. edges its a per- Now when you make a purchase if we will say a neck tie or a pair of stockings, or a pound of candy, and a box is handed out to 3 ter free grtis, you will be in a bet- position to realize the considerable number of operations that has been necessary to make this box which will presumably be thrown away as sSoon as you reach hime.. Now as to the use of the paper hox. Practically evervthing that enters into our every day life can or Is put up in paper boxs, all kinds of groceries, dry goods, hardware, drugs, confectionery, and most anything vou can think of can be put up in a very attractive package for a small amount of money. It is the most samitary way that we have of put- ting up our foods and as an advertising medium the paper box has most other formis of advertising tied to a most. Tt advertises the produce at the point of sale when you and your customer meet it advertises on every counter and every s, shelf. No one disputes the power of an attractive box to sell the contents.
